Hey guys! I'm back! I've been away for a while, but now I'm back and I have a lovely new chapter for you. This is Wednesday, and it's just one of those middle of the week days. Leave a review, if you'd like. Let me know what I'm doing wrong/right!

Wednesday

Wednesday was a lazy day.

Or so Kurt thought.

Both Kurt and Blaine took the opportunity to sleep in late and woke up at around 12:30pm. Kurt woke up first, he was completely wrapped in Blaine's arms, tight. He had to pry his way out, waking Blaine up with a small noise of confusion.

"Wha-Wha-What time is it?" Blaine said snapping up, and rubbing his eyes with a groggy morning voice.

"It's 12:30-ish, babe." Kurt replied, turning around and rubbing Blaine's chin. He leaned in and kissed his boyfriend, then piped up and went straight to the bathroom to get himself ready for his day.

It was later on that day when it hit him. He didn't have an outfit for friday.

While cuddled in the couch with a freshly showered Blaine, a commercial for an upcoming movie came on. A clip of Justin Timberlake flashed across the screen and all Kurt noticed was how great his jeans were.

His jeans, wow they'd be perfect for fri…OH MY GOD FRIDAY! I DON'T HAVE AN OUTFIT! Kurt thought, suddenly jumping up off the couch and grabbing his phone.

"You okay Kurt?" Blaine asked, raising one of his triangle eyebrows, genuinely confused.

"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry I just…uh…" Kurt stalled, trying to think up an excuse. "I forgot, Rachel wanted to meet up with me to do some, um, shopping, for… uh… a thing that she has."

"A thing that she has? She hasn't told me about any things. What thing?" Blaine put on his puppy dog face, seeing straight past Kurt's lie.

"Uh, just a date… That she's going on. Rachel's going on a date, with a…guy…that we know. But you don't know him, so she asked me to help her shop."

"Oh, do you mind if I tag along? I really want some new cargo shorts, you know, now that it's getting warmer."

Kurt loved Blaine, but sometimes he was dumb as rocks. Even though Kurt stalled and stuttered trying to make up a lie to Blaine, he still didn't get suspicious. Kurt would have loved to pick adorable springtime outfits for Blaine, pairing cute purple pastels with his dark hair, but this was most definitely not the time.

"No. No, you can't. Sorry Blaine, but I refuse to buy cargo shorts. So, no."

"Oh." Blaine said, defeated, "Okay, well, have fun. I'll just, you know, be here."

Blaine's voice sounded so sad. He lost his anxious tone and slouched back into the couch. Kurt felt his heart melt and he bent over, and rested Blaine's chin on his fingers.

"Hey, we'll go shopping all on our own this weekend. No Rachel, no nobody. We can sneak into dressing rooms together without even trying on clothes, if you know what I mean." Kurt winked and Blaine let out a joking growl back. They both giggles and Kurt kissed Blaine slowly, then held up his phone, dialing Rachel. He walk towards the door and Rachel answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Rachel, so Saks Fifth Avenue is still open. We should go there. Now." Kurt said, hoping that Rachel would catch on and go along with him.

"Saks? Why the hell would I go to Saks? I don't have enough money for that, Kurt."

"Friday, Rachel, for an outfit. Let's go because we can get an outfit for that thing thats on friday."

"Oh!" Rachel finally got it. "Friday! Right! Okay, I'll just fix up my hair and we can meet there, at the entrance."

"Perfect! See you there!" Kurt was beaming. He enjoyed shopping, but he really loved shopping sprees at Saks. He only saved his Saks trips for special occasions or for Christmas or Birthday shopping. There was something about the endless racks of the uber-expensive designer clothes that sent his senses on fire and his mind spinning. He felt like a kid in a candy shop.

"Alrighty, I'll be home later or once Saks closes, so do something to keep yourself busy okay? I don't want you to just be sad and alone all day." Kurt told Blaine as he gathered his wallet and messenger bag.

"Yeah, maybe I'll call Joe, he's probably messing around in the city right as we speak." Blaine replied. Good idea Kurt thought. Joe was Blaine's closest guy friend in New York. He lived in Brooklyn but spent most of his time in the city either looking for a friend to hang out with or exploring every single neighborhood New York could offer. Joe was a character, he was always putting on funny voices and knew how to make anyone giggle. He was the perfect friend for Blaine to hang around with while Kurt was gone.

Kurt walked out onto the street and hailed a cab. This was a very special occasion. It was Saks time, no doubt.

Blaine waited a few minutes after Kurt left to pick up his phone and text Joe,

Blaine: Hey Joe, if ur around NYC, come on over nd hang out! Kurts out shopping and left me with nothing 2 do!

Joe: Aw, man Blaine, wish I could but I just found the coolest little hidden theater, going to a show in a few min. Wish I could chill! Go write a song and keep yourself busy ;p

Blaine: No prob Joe, have fun the show!

Joe: I should have some fun, the show is a musical parody of the 'My Strange Addiction' TV show. Only in NY…

Blaine set down his phone. He thought to himself about Joe's text and giggled. They both loved parody musicals and Joe was always finding the strangest things in New York. Then he thought about Joe saying 'Go write a song and keep yourself busy.'

Joe had met Blaine right when he started getting serious into song writing and he knew Blaine as 'The Song Writing Friend,' but truthfully, Blaine hadn't written a song in such a long time. Maybe that was a good idea, just to get all the small things running around in his mind out and into a song.

But then Blaine thought about the girls he was teaching. Their advice? Write him a song! He knew it had to be a sign. Writing Kurt a song was a great idea, and there he was, with the students and his friends telling him to write a song. Thats when it clicked.

Music was what made both his and Kurt's world go around. Music was the biggest thing, other than each other, in their lives. They made music a part of their everyday. It was the perfect way. He knew how to propose. He'd do it through a song.

Blaine ran and grabbed his guitar from under the window, tuned it and played a chord.

Well Blaine, He thought, This has to be the best damn love song ever written. This has to make Kurt say 'Yes.'

The scent of new clothes really started to get to Rachel after three hours of peeling back each hanger in the mens department of Saks Fifth Avenue with Kurt. It seemed like fun when Kurt first asked, well, told her to come with him to get an outfit for friday night. At first, spending a day in the best department store in New York City was something Rachel couldn't be happier about but she didn't really acknowledge the fact that she was shopping with Kurt who had to examine everything with a sharp eye.

The price tags on the clothes were more than Rachel spent yearly on all of her clothes combined. It bothered her that not only could she not afford anything, she couldn't wear anything. The mens department was ten times bigger then she thought, but the look of concentration on Kurt's face kept her giggling the whole time. He took this all extremely seriously, and even though Rachel loved shopping herself, she wasn't nearly as crazy as Kurt.

"Kurt, you should see your face right now, if we weren't standing in the middle of Saks, I'd swear you were taking the SAT's." She joked.

"Well, think of it this way, these are just auditions. I'm the casting director of all these shirts and pants and stuff, and I have to find the perfect clothes to play the leading part of my show, aka friday night. It's just like Broadway, if you know what I mean. I have to take forever so I can find just what I'm looking for. I mean, I'm sure hundreds of people auditioned for the part of Elphaba in Wicked before Idina Menzel did. Imagine if the casting director just settled for something that was pretty good, but not perfect for the role. What would Wicked be like? I need the Idina Menzel of outfits right now." Kurt explained. He knew this was something Rachel could wrap her head around. She understood the process of casting and it was true. Finding and outfit was like casting a role. You need to find just what you're looking for.

"Ah, very good comparison there, Kurt. I guess I get it but, there are so many clothes, I mean, I think I've actually seen over one-thousand shirts. I'm sure Blaine wouldn't care if you showed up in pajamas, it's not going to make or break the deal." Rachel complained.

"Rachel, this outfit need to show that I actually give a damn, I can't look sloppy and lazy."

Suddenly Rachel remembered the huge problem at hand again. She was alone with Kurt. Now was the perfect time to try to get him to figure out Blaine's plans to propose. She had to do it quick, and she had to be sneaky, she could not be the blame.

"So, Blaine seems to be paranoid about something lately." Rachel said, changing the subject. The whole week Blaine had a distressed look in his eye. She knew he didn't have a plan yet, he never really did. She could tell he was spending his week trying to figure out how he'd ask Kurt.

"Paranoid? I don't know, not really. Why do you know something?" Kurt asked, quickly shoving a shirt back on the rack and looking up, wide eyed.

"I wish I knew, thats why I'm asking you. He hasn't done anything weird lately, right?"

"Well, okay, kinda. Just don't tell anyone I said this, but he's been kind of…frugal…lately. I mean, he's buying generic brand groceries, and he hasn't bought one stitch of clothing in the past two months. He never 'has enough money' to go out with his friends, and I know he's been getting payed but it's like he's been secretly spending all of his money or something." Kurt admitted, looking down at his twiddling thumbs. "It's stupid, I mean I'm sure he's just being smart. These are some hard times and everyones trying to hold onto their money. I'm over-reacting."

"No way! You are not over-reacting at all! I don't know, Kurt, maybe he's spent his money on something expensive already and he's not telling you. I bet he did! Or maybe he's buying something soon, as in really soon." Rachel's voice piped up Wow Rachel not too bad…She thought.

"Rachel, do you know something?" Kurt asked, staring into her eyes. He put on his serious-bitch voice. She knew that he knew she was hiding something. She couldn't say anything, so she put on her poker face and looked back at him straight in the eyes.

"Nope."

"Well, then, why are we worrying? He's Blaine! He's never been a big spender anyway. It's me who's the spender. If you ever notice me suspiciously saving my money, that's when you need to worry." Kurt told Rachel, with a small grin. He walked down to the next rack, a collection of black pants and Kurt's eyes widened.

"Rachel, look at these!" He picked up a pair of black pants, "Okay, now these are perfect. Let's go try this little sucker on. These are the type of pants that will make Blaine say 'yes' twelve times over."

Rachel scowled. Yet another failure for Rachel Berry.
